•Senior Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman was intercepted four times during practice, but his role on the team cannot be defined by his statistical output. First of all, not all of the intercepted passes were his fault; some came off of deflection or miscommunication with his receivers. Second of all, teammate Kirk Cousins has a lock on repetitions with the first team offense, but the personnel groupings have been largely mixed this offseason. Coaches want to see different combinations of players, which means that an undrafted receiver may be covered by the team's top cornerback and vice versa. These experience mismatches at this point in the offseason can create ugly results without any sort of perspective. Grossman's veteran savvy showed today when he got defenders to jump offsides on a hard count. After one such penalty on defensive lineman Chris Baker, Grossman entertained teammates by imitating Baker's signature pregame dance moves before returning to the huddle. That's a veteran move.

There are worse QB's that have donned the NFL uniform than Rex.....and while I certainly appreciate his sense of "team" and willingness to work with our 2 new QB's....... still I will be very happy if he never again is asked to play in a game of significance while wearing the B&G.

A winning effort begins with preparation.
Failures are expected by losers, ignored by winners.
